Is stone #2 really worth the extra $500? They both look really beautiful ... Help anyone decide?

 

[armywife13]

I would choose the second. I think the extra $500 would be worth it to have excellent cut.

According to HCA ... stone #1 is TIC range and stone #2 is BIC range. What are the characteristics of these ranges? Please help experts!

A TIC stone will be considered more well-rounded but I guess it all depends on what you like.

They both have really huge tables (in my book) which I wouldnt care for. That doesnt make
them wrong for someone else though.

I'm not a fan of either to be honest

I would call WF about this one I can't get the pricescope discount to come up so you could ask them what the price would be with that
